The ported maf only goes together one way, co no its not ok to spin the logo to the top.

A ported mass air just like that one was worth near 10 rwhp on my stock internal 2000 z28.
Most 2000's pick up about that much.
But, the same cannot be said for 99's.
What year model car do you have?

I have an 01, I don't mean spin it in the housing.
I mean spin the whole MAF but that would put the wiring plug at the bottom instead of on the side.

Typically the CPU will 'learn' a new mod within 100 miles of the mod being installed. Resetting really isn't nessary since the CPU would have to learn the entire engine over instead of the one or two mods that people usually install at one time. About the only reason to reset the CPU is to clear a trouble code.

Thanx Poltergeist, thats what a thought. You get alot of conflicting opinions here.
What I can see from your car and your posts
you are the expert I was looking for.

I would love to have those but my pesky NX MAF plate would be in the way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
